Idk how an individual is supposed to go from street riding to being ok when an expert running 30 seconds faster than you stuffs you up the inside, or comes around the outside and chops your nose off for example. You may be a freak example. Or you got lucky.

You need to build up to suppressing those survival reactions and being comfortable with going 85mph with your knee on the ground and someone 6 inches from your belly pan at the same time. Flags and rules are the easy part at that point.

I 100% would not want someone coming off the street, with the only track experience they have is the mock race, to be in the same race as me, or any other seasoned track rider/racer.

years of racing motocross beforehand would have probably had a benefit with all of that. Going to lightweight helps as well, going straight into 600s is asking for trouble there. Had to relearn on the in-line . I definitely would say I’m a bit of an outlier for sure, as anyone around long enough here knows lol.

Arguably. Getting a race license isn't all that difficult. And I know someone who is still an average novice that snuck in and got a race license. That person grids up on the same grid as experts and imo that's dangerous as fuck. That's why some orgs wont even let you take their race licensing course without being at least in intermediate. 

True, I did the WERA race school On my street bike having never been on a track. Got a race SV and showed up tonWERa race and podiumed lol. Won 3 Nationals 2 races later and swept the regional titles. Track days definitely aren’t needed to get into racing. Biggest thing is knowing track etiquette, flags, rules, etc. 

Well got it all running, mainly looking for fairings now. If anyone has some I’ll take em lol

Small bikes are awesome to race, and miserable at trackdays.

This! I started racing on an SV and loved it, learned a lot about carrying speed and race craft. But at track days every goon on a 600+ will fly by on the straights and park you in the corners. And then riding them in advanced gets dicey with the speed differences imo. 

It’s super easy to balance. Buy a trueing stand and the heavy side will rotate to the bottom. Slap some weight on the opposite side and check again. It’s an art to learn how much weight is needed. When done slap some black duct tape over the weights. Same way we’ve done it at the racetrack. 
 

if you do decide to sell your street stuff, I may be interested. 

Drop $1k obo. Still sitting in the box waiting to be broken in y’all. 

Picked up a 675 salvage bike and looking for some parts.All Plastics, ignition, and fairing stay/ramair. Will be looking to resell once I get it all sorted and ready to rock if anyone is interested.

I have a 1st gen Ruger Precision Rifle in .243 WIN BNIB never used.  

$1100 obo.

Nope. Just not a blind idiot. America lost the war when she became something less than she was. Our entire culture has changed from proud and free to spoiled and cowardly. The heart of what made America really great is long gone. Standing in the face of adversity with our middle fingers raised slightly higher than our rifle sights is how we used to roll. Now we treat children like terrorists and a threat to national security because actual freedom is too hard. America has developed a cancer and I'm not sure she's gonna recover. 

Strong men fight, leading to good times, good times create weak men, weak men lead to bad times, bad times create strong men..... so on and so forth.  It's the cycle of 1st world society.  When life is easy, people start to worry about all these petty things.  Literally make up stuff to stir drama.  But when the SHTF, this stuff all disappears and the real, strong people of the country emerge to fight, patriotism is restored.  Then it all starts over again.

Since Dan brought up tire loading, I have a few observations, comments and questions.  One comment is that upon leaning and as you lean more, you scrub off speed.  This is part of the physics of our amazing sport that makes it so interesting.  In the case of using the turn to scrub speed, I have noticed on some turns I barely need to brake - such as Turn 1 and 2 at Mid O, and various "kinks" at various tracks.  In these cases, your front suspension is not fully loaded, so my question is how does that affect the traction during the turn?  I low-sided in a fast turn and probably had not warmed my tires enough, but also didn't use much if any braking going into the turn.

You'll be surprised at how much you actually are loading the front tire by just letting off the throttle and rotating into the lean.  This is also where having proper sag/preload settings will keep the weight where it needs to be.  The only time your front end is "not fully loaded" is when you are hard on the throttle with the rear end squatting.  This is why it can be difficult to get the turn started on a WFO kink.  The geometry is different and the front tire doesn't have much weight/influence on the bike.  Some places I will roll off for a split second as I put input to the bars and immediately back WFO.  That is another part of hard braking to remember, when the front is collapsed, your rake/trail numbers go more aggressive and the bike will turn in quickly.

picking a braking and turn in point is going to be the best way to be consistent and adjust your entry speed.  Something that I really started working on once I got a track figured out, was actually braking less and less.  I've always been a big corner speed guy and focus on entry and mid corner speed.  I used to brake hard and late all the time, but that tends to mess up entry speed and unsettle the chassis.  Something I like to do is keep my braking point the same, but brake less and turn in a touch earlier and turn in quicker.  Try to get to full lean earlier and earlier each lap and carrying that speed through the corner.  I used to hit full lean at the apex a lot of times, but have gotten more focused on braking while up and down and throwing the bike to full lean immediately at turn in.  Now, you have to adjust the entry based on each corner.  You have to plan out setup, entry, mid corner, and exit based on what is coming next and trying to connect everything.  I found at mid ohio that on a 600 I could actually not touch the brakes in T1 and T2 and turn in waaaay earlier than I ever used to.  The engine braking on the back shifts provided enough scrubbing of speed and front end load.  But in racing things change as well when overtaking or preventing being overtaken, this is where using the previously developed late braking markers come in handy.

Want to setup a fake mugging that could have been prevented if you had your legal firearm on you so you have some ammo so to speak to get that policy changed?

LOL, I doubt Nationwide would care.  We aren't even allowed to take clients to anything dealing with firearms... I'm sure they don't want any liability, but with these kinds of new laws allowing people to sue those that infringe on their 2A rights.....

I like the M9.  Why all the hate?

As a USAF Instructor,  I can come up with a few.  The long-term reliability of these weapons isn't there.  We have M9's that break the lugs in the breach after a while, which is a huge PITA.  The double action/single action is trash for the first round accuracy, yes I understand the safety aspect of this.  The weight and grip size is another issue for smaller shooters combined with the heavy double-action initial pull.  The P320 is striker fired, lightweight polymer frame, extremely modular in use for all who may use it.( many currently carry a Sig M11 for concealed duty now) The ability to change grip size to fit shooters and ability to change calibers based on mission needs is nice as well.

P320 will be a remarkable improvement over the M9 POS.  And I agree with you on the modular rifle concept also....but I don't see them moving away from the 5.56 anytime in the next decade or two. First question is what would you want to replace it with????

the FN SCAR.  This is the epitome of a modular combat rifle system.  One system that can be configured for many different units/missions as needed.  The ability to run different calibers while keeping the rifle basics the same.  The flexibility of this system is phenomenal.  It would be easy to bring into our forces as you can run it in 5.56mm and 7.62mm as well as others.  This helps with using the current ammo with a phasing in of the change.
